Displ midcervical fx l femr, 7thH

This code describes a fracture in the middle portion of the neck of the left femur that has shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, which is experiencing a delay in the normal healing process.

This code is used for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced midcervical open fracture (Type I or II) of the left femur is being treated for delayed healing. This would apply to situations where the bone is not uniting as expected within the typical timeframe.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "midcervical" for the left femur.
• Confirm the open fracture type (I or II) and evidence of delayed healing are clearly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different code.
